Meeting Elijah

The beginning of our life together.

Nothing can prepare you for the moment you hold your baby for the first time. It’s as if time stopped and my life truly started in that moment. His wet, hot little body being laid on my chest as I said “Hi baby!”. Weeks of labor all coming down to that moment where I finally got to meet my sweet boy, all of it was worth it.

I’ve dreamt my entire life of becoming a mother. The amount of joy and peace that came over me as I held him we had our golden hour together is simply indescribable. I’ve never felt that content in my life and I fear I’ll be chasing that high for the rest of my life. Nothing else in the world matters to me now, and as I wake up each morning I’m excited to just exist with him and our little family. Thank you Jesus! Thank you for blessing my life in this way and absolutely changing my world. What a gift it is to get to be a mama.

I’ll be here for the foreseeable future just staring at him, enjoying that new baby scent and trying to ingrain the images of his perfect little features in my mind forever.
